We present a device which operates with four-photons and based on the Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference. The presented device allows to maximize the degree of spatial entanglement and generate the highly entangled four-dimensional Bell states.

• Abstract: The phenomenon of entanglement is the basis of quantum information and quantum communication processes. Entangled systems with a large number of photons are of great interest at present because they provide a platform for streaming technologies based on photonics. In this paper we present a device which operates with four-photons and based on the Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference. The presented device allows to maximize the degree of spatial entanglement and generate the highly entangled four-dimensional Bell states. Furthermore, the use of the interferometer in different regimes leads to fast interference fringes in the coincidence probability with period of oscillations twice smaller than the pump wavelength. We have a good agreement between theoretical simulations and experimental results.

• Multiphoton interference in a single-spatial-mode quantum walk [0.0]
  Multiphoton interference is crucial to many photonic quantum technologies. Here, we implement a quantum walk in a highly stable, low-loss, multiport interferometer with up to 24 ultrafast time bins. Our results demonstrate that ultrafast time bins are a promising platform to observe large-scale multiphoton interference.

• Mode hitching in traveling-wave optical parametric amplification [0.0]
  This study focuses on the classical transverse dynamics of the signal and idler beams when they propagate in a generic thick OPA at a nominally small angle. We show that the beams tend to copropagate while maintaining a fixed separation, a phenomenon that we term hitching. Results have implications for the generation of multi-spatial-mode squeezed light for quantum imaging applications.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide. When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits. We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

  We show two distinct edge modes corresponding to different frequency ranges in both sandwich kagome and honeycomb topological designs. These two topological edge modes enable two types of optical parametric processes through four-wave mixing. The devices emulating photonic valley-Hall insulators allow the frequency division of two transverse modes.

This successful translation of quantum states in the frequency domain will pave the way toward the discovery of fascinating quantum phenomena and scalable quantum information processing.

  Entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems, where one or more degrees of freedom of light are involved, offers increased information capacities and enables new quantum protocols. Here, we demonstrate a functional source of high-dimensional, noise-resilient hyperentangled states encoded in time-frequency and vector-vortex structured modes. We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.
